And this year them snakes is really lively after tha long long drought. Happy Hunting.

As always, there's dancing outside to tha live band...

There's dancing and a small band playing...Zippy's new vershun of Tha Hat Dance, which premiered in 2011, is now a new tradishun for our Cinco de Mayo party!

Tha kittens are all tucked into their beddies high in the trees to watch tha fireworks.
They haf lovely creme brulee drinks and warm mouse and sugar cookies.

Late tonight or tomorrow morning, before you go, take a whack at one of the pinatas.

Wow, this is a fantastic party, surely the best ever! We hope we can join you, even though our mom didn't do a post for us today...just kind of a roller coaster week for her. But if we're still welcome, we'd love to celebrate with you all!

Oh Wow, this looks like such a great party. We are going to dig in right away. What a wonderful wonderful idea to make it in honor of Judi. That is just perfect. We are purring and praying for her. We have a donkey on our post. Take care.

For years, we've heard about your Cinco de Mayo party and seen the pictures of all the great food and such, but we have never been able to join all of you. This year is different! Our mommy said we can come and party with all of you and she'll pop over later to take us home. We had to promise to behave, so if Runt starts dancing on the tables, please don't tell mommy.

We can hardly wait to try all the good eats and to ride the roller coaster! And we think the idea of making JudiBug guest of honor is excellent! So, salud and gracias for having us!Taz, Runt and Charles

Hola!What fun 'n' frolic. You Texans sure know how to party ...the roasted lizards were goooood,they tickled the palette.And we tip our sombreros to the Guest of Honor, sweet Judi ...Maggy and Zoey(and Ann)

Nikita Cat, & Elvira Mistress of Felinity, arrive early in the morning, skipping their usualy breakfasts, to chow down in one of KC's Sinks, with some Mayo, or whatever else they can sink their hungry paws into to get started.....

Nikita plops a hat on Elvira's head, and gives her a plate of Bison, Roast Lizard, Eel Steak, and Duck, as she looks at him with some serious doubt in her eyes....

He shove a nice refreshing Meow-Garitia at her, and says..."Don't question, just eat, it's delicious....trust me....and wash it down with THIS!"

Nikita piles HIS plate high with ham, chicken, and fish, and grabs a bowl of cream.....

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!...OH, what a fun party this is, we are excited to be here with so many wonderful friends!...We love Judi and her fabulous sombrero; wishing her the very best...We are off for some of that nip and dancing :)...xoxo...Calle, Halle, Sukki

Nikita: "OK, young lady, that's enough for you, and OUT of you! Time for us to go, you need to sober up, because we need to help Daddy, with his important moving planning that KC mentioned on Thursday at The CB."

ELVIRA: "But I wanna tell evybody bout the Bhig Offendi, and A Journey in Chilyafahni, and the Mountains of Feathery Snow! Hic! I wanna!"

~Gentleman Beau~"I still have a very keen sense of smell, and I smelled a deeeee-licious concoction of real live dead ham, roast chick-hens AND DUCK?! DUCK!! Oh My Bast!!

I have a handsome appetite, so says QM, almost as handsome as I am, and I still am as vain as ever, since I still groom and primp myself for when Samantha, Boo, Marigold and various LadyCats of the CB Teleport over to visit.As ever the Gentleman as Angel Mom Cathy taught me to be, I try my best to not cause any ruffled furs and show gratitude for all the affection.And I am, well and truly, gratefulIt's also Derby Day, QM tells me, only she pronounces it "DARBY" (I haven't the heart to correct her, poor Old Dear - She still thinks at times We're in "The Old Country".)

Well, I am easily tired these days, so please don't mind my settling down here in the sidelines, to watch ou all frolic and celebrate such a fun and CHIK-HEN-FUL Holiday!! (Mmmm! QM is just finishing up roasting the Hen fur us!! Noms!!)Best to all!Yours,Gentleman Beau

Derby Day, or Darby Day, is furry impawtant to our own Derby. His Gotcha Day is coming up on the 7th and the running of the horsies is where he gets his name.Wonnerful story.Wonderfuller kitty. And we's so glad to see Gentleman Beau up and about and charming all the ladies. ~KC

Happy Cinco de Mayo to all of you. This is the best party ever and a wonderful idea to hold it in honour of JudiBug. We are going to tuck in to the delicious food and then we are having a go on the Ferris Wheel.

Hmmm...We came back to check in on the festivities, but Beau was a little upset - where is his comment? Blogger behaving badly?So sorry, so sad...Beau is now tucked in for the night and I shant trouble him any with this nasty omission. He did have a lovely time while he was here.

This is the most fun I effur had on Conco de Mayo! I've had so many meowgaritas, I don't think I can be trusted to chase the voles without making one into a snack, so I think I'll just sit here by CK and rest my eyes for a few minutes!

We's not sure what happened to Gentleman Beau's comments, but him was very much here earlier to the delight of all the lady cats in attendance. Hopefully it was just a Blogger error.Beau and The Royals are welcome at all our events.And tell Beau that he is entered in the contest, two times now, for two comments.Love & Purrs,KC

Samba, do not be rude. That was nasty. My darling Smokey and his family had thrown this great party. I think you may have eaten and drank to much. Smokey you dance so well ( smiles) You are the most handsomeness. Wanna rest some more or snuggle on the ferris wheel?

MOL Fun, Food, and music! We've never had roasted lizard before, yum! Then we filled up on our favorite duck, toddled over to the niptini bar, then there was the vole chase! What a party! Thanks KC for a fantastic 5th of May!

We have to leave but before we go, we just want to thank you for having such a wonderful party and letting us come. We absolutely enjoyed every minute we spent here and mommy had to free the vole that Runt wanted to take home with him.Adios, amigos! and mucho gracias.Taz, Runt and Charles

Tia: Wow, what a night, KC! I'm feeling a bit the worse for wear this morning after all that nip, but that night was the bestest ever!Specially cuz you'd so thoughtfully arranged to have the kittens taken care of! I could really let my fur down for the first time in ages!

Millie: Wowowowowowowowow! Kc, that was the coolest party ever in the whole universe! And I winned lots and lotsa things from the big smacky thing that spitted out treats and toys and lotsa coooool stuffs! And my mummycat says I don't even hafta share cuz there's nobody else to share with and she's got her own stuffs too. And the cookies were yummy! My mummycat's booooooooring. She never lets me have cookies afore bedtime, so it was a real treat! And tha baby's soooooo much fun to play with! Oh, if there's a mess in the kitten bedroom, it wasn't us, nope, no sir! We just went to sleep like good little kittens, right, babycat?
